Would this fish be a good additon to my tank?

I was thinking of adding a Midas Blenny to my 75 gal. tank. Right now I have:

1 Anthias
1 Orange Spot Goby
1 Black Cap Basselet
1 Wrasse
1 Hog Fish
1 Clown

Would this be okay?

Sounds fine to me, your fish are relatively small so it shouldnt add much to your bioload. I have a midas blenny and they are pretty sweet fish.

I don't see any problems with that. You may or may not get a little bickering back and forth from the Midas Blenny picking on the Goby, but your tank is big enough though.

Thanks for all your replies I'll keep an eye on that Goby =)

The hog fish may not get along with the Goby and Basselet. You also may have problems with another Wrasse, depending on what species. My two spoted hog has eaten less passive fish.
